Help
I am looking for someone responsible, no smoker and happy to work 4-5 hours a day in the garden (a little permaculture project), cleaning the house, play with my kid and big dogs. Knowledge of maintenance, sewing, carpentry and such are much appreciated, You will have your own room and bathroom and I will cook for you good Italian food.

Languages
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: Fluent
Italian: Fluent
French: BeginnerThis host offers a language exchange
I am Italian, but speak English, Spanish and a little French, so I will be glad to host people who chain talk with me and my son in their language to practice and for him to learn a good English.
Accommodation
You will have your own private room and toilet. I built a dome just for the volunteers. Good meals provided.
What else ...
You can go by taxi to the near city, Jicaral, and from there take a bus to go the main cities like Nicoya. I will bring you there at least two times x week. Here people wake up early and go to sleep early. You must love calm and natural kind of life. If you own a 4x4 car you will have a big freedom and enjoy the place more.
